Directed by Alex Fegan, The Irish Pub is described by its distributors Element Pictures as "a eulogy to the greatest institution in Irish society, the pub - or more specifically the traditional Irish publicans who run them".

Director Fegan said: "The making of this film has been an incredible journey and all involved are delighted that Irish audiences will have the opportunity to see the film on the big screen from October 4, where we hope they will be charmed and captivated by the stories told."
